Purpose
To protect engine components, streamline the engine, and reverse the fan
thrust air flow.
In the stowed position fan exhaust is allowed to flow through the fan reverser
and exit at the rear, producing forward thrust.
The thrust reverser sleeve is driven aft on tracks (deployed) by the hydraulic
actuators. As the reverser deploys blocker doors which form the leading edge
of the internal wall of the translating sleeve unfurl and block the fan duct,
forcing the fan exhaust outward through the now exposed cascades. The
cascade vanes direct the airflow forward producing a reverse effect.
Location
The left and right fan duct cowl and thrust reverser are mounted to the strut
behind the fan cowl and ahead of the core cowl.
Physical Description/Features
The fan duct cowl and thrust reverser consist of a fixed torque box structure
and fan duct ("C" duct), and movable translating sleeve. When stowed, both

Purpose
Location
There are two engine mounts, one forward and one aft. The forward mount is
attached to the intermediate case rear flange. The aft mount is attached to
the top of the turbine exhaust case double flange.
Physical Description/Features
The mounts transfer engine thrust, vertical, and side loads to the strut, and
allow axial and radial growth due to thermal expansion. Both mounts are
accessible after the power plant has been removed.
The forward lower engine mount holds the engine at three locations, a shear-
pin fitting and two thrust links. The shear pin is installed into a mating hole in
the rear flange of the intermediate case and held by four bolts. The two thrust
links are attached to the rear flange of the intermediate case on one side of
the shear pin fitting and to the aft end of the mount assembly.
The forward lower engine mount attaches to the strut with four vertical
tension bolts.
The aft lower engine mount holds the engine at three points on the double
flange of the turbine exhaust case. The aft lower engine mount includes two
tangential links and a center link which attaches to the same mount fitting.
The mount fitting attaches to the strut with four vertical tension bolts
Vibration isolators are used on the forward and aft engine mounts to reduce
noise levels in the passenger cabin.

Location
Nine drains and the single vent are located on the bottom centerline of the
engine under the fan cowl.
Drains
The nine drains discharge fuel and oil from leaking seals overboard through
louvers in the hinged IDG access door on the bottom of the right fan cowl.
A plate secured to the door identifies each drain. A certain amount of fluid
leakage is allowable. Refer to AMM 71-71-00.

nozzle where hot exhaust gases come out at high speeds. Also, the speed of
the air that comes out of the fan, especially at high thrust positions, is
sufficient to cause injury. When the thrust reverser is in the reverse thrust
position, the fan air comes out forward and not rearward.
You must wear eye and ear protection when you do the work by the airplane
while the engines are in operation.
Use the aerostands or platforms with the protection railings to prevent injury
when you do the work on the engines.
Use the general safety items, which follow, when it is necessary for the task
to prevent an accident.
Air Intake
At high engine speeds, the air which flows out of the fan and the engine
exhaust can blow loose dirt, stones, sand and other material at a distance of
more than one hundred feet. Thus, you must use caution when you park the
aircraft for a high speed operation to prevent injury to persons or damage to
property or other aircraft. A blast fence is recommended if you are to operate
the engines at high power in an area where there is not sufficient space
available. It is necessary to have a sufficient space to decrease the speed of
the fan and exhaust blast.
Temperature
You can find high temperature more than one hundred feet from the exhaust
nozzle in the correct wind conditions. By the engine, the exhaust
temperature can cause sufficient deterioration of bituminous pavement.
Thus, concrete aprons are recommended for areas of a high speed
operation. It is possible for a jet engine, when started, to set fire to the fuel
that has collected in the turbine exhaust area. This will cause long flames to
blow out of the exhaust nozzle. You must monitor this possible dangerous
condition and keep all flammable materials away.
Toxicity
The tests have shown that the quantity of the carbon monoxide in the
exhaust is low. But, there are other gases which smell bad and can cause an
effect to your body. If you are near these gases, this can cause injury to your
eyes. But more important, this can cause you not to breathe correctly.
Because of these two results, you must not get near operating engine.

Purpose
Location
The front and rear engine ground handling points consist of five pads on the
fan discharge case and five holes in the turbine exhaust case flanges.
Physical Description/Features
Two pads are on each side of the fan discharge case at about the horizontal
centerline. One pad is at the top of the vertical center line. These pads take
care of vertical, side, moment and axial loads.
Maximum vertical load on the top pad is 10.000 pounds (4540 kg).
Maximum vertical load on the side pads is 5,000 pounds (2270 kg)
per pad.
Five holes are located about the turbine exhaust case to accept load pins.
The top hole is slightly offset from the vertical centerline. The two side holes
are on the horizontal centerline. The remaining two holes are to the left and
right of the top hole and together can take a maximum vertical load of 8,600
pounds (3900 kg). The holes on the horizontal centerline can each take a
vertical load of 3,290 pounds (1490 kg).
An electronic engine control (EEC), fuel/oil heat exchanger, and oil tank are
located on the left fan case. An oil pump assembly and integrated drive
generator (IDG) are mounted to a fan case mounted main gearbox. Behind
the main gearbox is an angle gearbox. A 2.5 bleed actuator and an air/oil
heat exchanger are mounted to the rear face of the intercompressor case.
Cooling manifolds surround the high pressure compressor case and high and
low pressure turbine cases. A 14th stage, or start bleed is mounted to the
high pressure compressor case.
The EEC controls the engine from start to shutdown. The fuel/oil heat
exchanger warms the fuel and cools the oil. The seven gallon oil tank is
manually filled with provisions for pressure filling. The oil pump assembly
consists of the lubrication pump and scavenge pump. The angle gearbox
transmits power to the main gearbox and accessory drives.
The 2.5 bleed bleeds intercompressor air overboard during low power
settings. The air/oil heat exchanger cools the oil using fan air. Fan air cools
the high pressure compressor case and high pressure turbine and low
pressure turbine cases to control case expansion during cruise. The 14th
stage bleed valve opens during starting and rapid deceleration.
A start valve is located on the starter air manifold around the lower right fan
case. A hydraulic pump and starter are mounted on the front face of the main
gearbox. A de-oiler, fuel pump, and fuel control unit are mounted on the rear
face of the main gearbox. A forward engine mount is attached to the
intermediate case, and an aft engine mount is attached to the turbine exhaust
case.
Two ignition exciters and a stator vane actuator are mounted on the high
pressure compressor case. A fuel distribution valve is mounted below the
combustor case. Two igniters are installed on the lower right combustor case,
and 24 fuel injectors are installed around the combustor case.

deposited on the wetted blades and vanes may adversely affect engine
performance during subsequent operation.

ground.
Be careful not to apply too much of a load on the strut when you lift the
engine. It is necessary to use load cells to monitor the lift force on the engine.
The bootstrap equipment uses a lever hoist at each of the four support arms.
The lever hoists permit you to adjust the pitch and the roll of the engine. You
operate the two front or the aft lever hoists to adjust the pitch of the engine.
You operate one of the front lever hoists to adjust the roll of the engine.
It is necessary make the airplane level to ±3 degrees pitch and roll when you
use the bootstrap equipment (AMM PAGEBLOCK 08-21-00/201).
Before you remove the engine, find the center of gravity (c.g.) of the airplane
(AMM PAGEBLOCK 07-11-05/201). It can be necessary to use a tail jack to
support the tail of the airplane when an engine is removed.
After you complete the engine installation, examine the engine, the inle cowl,
and the area around the engine for tools or loose objects. It is necessary to
operate the engine after you install it. If there are loose objects around the
engine, the objects can get pulled into the engine, which can cause damage
to the engine.
